The resulting paintings enabled purchasers and viewers to exercise their connoisseurial eye and claim membership in an exclusive circle of sophisticated enthusiasts-making creative repetition a successful strategy for both artists and viewers.|Angela Ho shows how Dutch painters in the mid- to late 17th century used repetition to project a distinctive artistic personality.
